Preparations are underway for a meeting between U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to Mike Waltz, the incoming U.S. National Security Adviser.

Waltz shared this information during an appearance on ABC News This Week, as reported by Ukrinform.

"The preparations [for a Trump-Putin meeting] are cunderway," Waltz stated.

While the format of the leaders' meeting has yet to be determined, Waltz said he expects at least a phone conversation between Trump and Putin "in the coming days or weeks."

Waltz emphasized that a ceasefire would be a positive first step from both sides.

"That would allow us to enter into the framework of some type of negotiated solution. Everybody knows that this [conflict] has to end diplomatically," he added.
